IL Indoor Tanning Coalition Update

The IL Tanning Coalition has been actively working to see that IL becomes the 3rd state to pass a law that prevents children from using tanning facilities.

Member groups include:

American Cancer Society-Cancer Action Network

Skin of Steel

American Society for Dermatological Surgery

AIM at Melanoma

Illinois Dermatological Society

American Academy of Dermatology Association

Dermatology Nurses Association

American Academy of Pediatrics

Society of Dermatology PAs

In addition to communicating with legislators, the members groups have been networking with colleagues and friends to encourage anyone interested to contact their Legislators about this bill.

The lobby day, held on February 27th in Springfield, was attended by coalition members including our DNA advocate in IL, Angie Hamilton. This offered a wonderful opportunity to educate Legislators and provided free skin cancer screenings to Legislators and their staffs!
